The absorption or purchase of the Balti
more & Ohio telegraph property and fran
chises by the Western Union has served to
revive discussion of the standing PROPOSE
ton, now cbsmpioned by the Knights of
Labor, for the government to purchase and
operate the entire telegraph system of the
country. There are some pretty strong
ar guments In favor Of the proposition, but
we think the preponderance is against 1t.
The fact that the government has the
money on hand and could pay for 1t spot
cash does not afford warrant for its paying
at least three times the actual value of the
property estimated by the cost Of its con
In order to secure 1t. Much Of
the same argument could be used with
equal force in favor Of the government
control and management of the
and canals of the country. What
may take place in regard to these matters
In the future cannot be guessed at present,
but it is evident that the country is not
ready to seriously entertain either PROPOSE |
ion just now.
